New free and premium features – speed up content delivery and identify slow plugins

Section titled New free and premium features – speed up content delivery and identify slow plugins

WP-Optimize version 3.7.0 includes two new exciting optimisation features.

In the free version, you can now automatically preload your content when a page or post is purged or updated. This ensures that your new content is instantly available to visitors, eliminating any potential delays.

If you’re a premium user, you can now identify plugins which cause your site to slow down. With the table usage feature, you have the power to detect plugins which cause slow database queries, giving you the opportunity to replace them with faster alternatives.

Existing users can enable automatic cache preloading in their settings. This is enabled by default for new users.

  1. Go to WP-Optimize >> Page cache >> Purge the cache.
  2. Tick the Automatically preload content after it is purged checkbox.
  3. Click the Save changes button.
Click 'Purge Cache' button and select the checkbox for 'Automatically preload content after it is purged'

Identify slow plugins feature (exclusive to premium users)

To identify slow plugins:

  1. Go to WP-Optimize >> Database >> Table usage.
  2. Click the Run the query analysis for all executed queries in this site.
  3. Select a plugin in Tables Usage Report to view detailed performance information.
In 'Tables usage' tab, run the query analysis, then select the plugin from the 'Tables Usage Report' dropdown

We’ve fixed an issue with the cache scheduling feature which prevented it functioning properly due the user ID not being set when preloading via CRON.
We’ve also fixed an inconsistency with the smush_manager_send_command function.
